Question

What is the difference between two men who both look and act like Christians?

Answer

They said, “Why, the little 4-H club here has perfected a machine that can turn out corn so perfect that you can’t tell it from the—the grain of corn that’s growed in the field.” Said, “You can reach in a sack and get a handful that’s growed out of the—out of the field, and one out of this machine, and mix them up, there’s no way at all to tell them apart again. Take them down to the laboratory, cut them open, and probably the skin would look that thick. The same amount of moisture, potash and calcium and everything is in every grain just the same. It’ll make just as good a corn bread, make just as good a corn flakes out of either sack. The only way you could tell a difference is bury them. Both of them will rot, but the one that man made is finished. The one that God made has a germ of life in it, and it lives again.” I said, “Hold my hand, preacher. I’m going to embarrass you.” For there is a time when man…You can take two men. Both of them look alike, both of them act like Christians, but one of them’s got a germ of life which is the Holy Ghost. He will rise in the resurrection. The other one will lay there. That’s right. Amen.
